"Gimme More" by Britney Spears

I’m whipping out the wallet and buying the hype.
No, you know what? Screw that. This isn’t hype… it’s actually a pretty good song. I mean, of course I wanted to hate it. But I don’t. Maybe because Keri Hilson and Danjahandz wrote on it. Both quality. And maybe because Britney doesn’t exactly sing her pipes […]

"Back In Your Head" by Tegan & Sara

This is another one of those “wait… I like this band?” songs. Happened for me with Rilo Kiley’s “Portions for Foxes” and now this song. Damn Indie. Why can’t you just let me be anti.
I kept hearing this on the radio and instead of continuing to assume that it was some 80’s song that I […]

"Jenny" by Flight of the Conchords

I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything about these guys in here yet. I’m in LOVE with this show. The episode where Bret gets taken advantage of by the croissant shop girl is HILARIOUS. I love the line about her being a sniper and a baker. If you haven’t watched the show, you’re definitely missing […]

"Is There A Ghost" by Band of Horses

I’m a sucker for any song with a ghost in it (see the end of this post). I think it must have to do with my slightly unhealthy obsession with Halloween. You should see my apartment come October 31. Ok, who am I kidding… come September 1.
I’m also a fan of things that are […]

"While You Were Sleeping" by Elvis Perkins

A new video from one of my faves! Hopefully it helps him catch on because so far I’m seeing nothing. Which sucks b/c he’s great. Maybe these things just take time. The new video can be seen here, but I still prefer the performance from Letterman:

"Tattoo" by Jordin Sparks

For all you Idol fans out there comes a leak of the most recent champ’s first single. I instantly hated it (”just like a tattoo, i’ll always have you”. puke). But then it was stuck in my head. Usually means it will do well. So I thought I’d pass it on in case any of […]

"Silver Lining" by Rilo Kiley

I must have drank the Kool Aid, because I’m loving all this new Rilo Kiley stuff. I know most of the die hards have abandoned ship and hate it, but whatever… I am now embracing the indie princess’ creations (even if I am a tad late). If “Moneymaker” made you want to poke your eyes […]

"The Pretender" by Foo Fighters

I know I already posted this song, but the video is here!!!
Make sure you watch to the end because the shots of the band during the final sequence are amazing (like I really have to tell you to…)

I really hope this blows linkin park and that high school musical crap out of the water. This […]

"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Police

It’s my mom’s 50th birthday today so I thought I would dedicate this song to her When my brother graduated from high school, we made a slide show for his graduation party and this was the song that played during the section of mom & me pics. Ever since then, I always think of […]

"100 Days, 100 Nights" by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings

I had this song sitting there brewing in my iTunes after their promo people sent it over. And then every media outlet decides to pounce on the story that this is Amy Winehouse’s backing band and *gasp* their own material is pretty gosh darn good. So before Perez and MTV destroy them, make sure you […]
